Good-plus in slightly faded and frayed dust-wrapper. Conrad Voss Bark addresses the previous seventy-five years of still-water fly fishing when "many kinds of bait were allowed and spinners were widely used. When bait and spinners were gradually banned, anglers created lures of 'minnow flies' as a substitute. The author contends that it is now time to end the confusion and to return to true fly-fishing methods .and .conrad Voss Bark devotes much of his absorbing book to the subtle art and specialised techniques of nymph fishing." "You will always come back to the nymph with relief and gratitude." .
